Why do people believe this? Why is it that everyone who says things has no affiliation with these schools?

I’m not trying to be argumentative, but this is such nonsense. All it does is undermine the quality of the education and the abilities and talents of ambitious and hard-working kids. Stop doing this. We just did well at school and pursued the things we loved uncynically.

The unfairness usually comes in the amount of resources that goes into developing a TT private school student as it takes a lot of resources to make a well rounded student (from tutoring, extracurricular activities, traveling/cultural events, sports, etc...).

Your understanding of Ivy League admission is fundamentally wrong.  Ivies are not particularly interested in "well rounded" applicants.  They are looking at kids with big spikes. They are also looking at kids with hooks (URM, donor, legacy).  Just being a straight A student without big spikes or hooks is not enough.  If you understand this, you will be better equipped in selecting high schools for your kid(s).[/quote]
